So I see you survived as well. Was Santa good to you this year? Or did you receive coal?

Garnett said Carmelo’s Wife “tastes like honey nut cherrios.” LOL! Classic Burn.

Apparantly strong enough off a crack to make Carmelo wait for Garnett in the tunnel after the game AND run after him on the team bus in the parking lot.

“Your Wife smells like honey nut cherrios.” Hahaha!

Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:50:20 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=284137#comment-424943There’s a big difference between a relief pitcher doing a dance and passing out pictures to opposing fans. The former is showing up the opposing TEAM, a no-no in baseball’s arcane unwritten rules, and the latter, taunting the opposing team’s fans is just innocent fun. You should see what fan taunting goes on between opposing colleges in Texas.

Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:33:38 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=284137#comment-424927The Civil War was credited with spreading baseball for this very reason. It is within the realm of possibility that had it never been played by the Union soldiers across the continent during the 1860’s, it may have stayed in the northeast a la lacrosse, never reaching the zenith that it did.

On a personal note, I sometimes think about this while strolling Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. A massive Civil War fortress still overlooking the city, Camden Yards in the distance… the first blood of the civil war being spilled between the two railroad stations downtown… crazy.

Two. In. The. World.
Yet…to you they aren’t worth more than $5?
I don’t care if it was a rare shoelace.
If there were only two of these shoelaces in the world you bet I would be bidding on them if I had the means.
